I was shouted at this evening, don't know what they said, all a bit pointless really,

I had a landy like that, a week after I sold it I saw it abandoned in a lay-by on the A470,

too much wind noise to hear the verbals

I got shouted at by a sheep today down Cragg Vale. It was refreshing to be shouted at by something with brains!

Saturday, I went to T*sco to do a Big Shop on George, and I was naughty and had fish and chips. I was moving quite well for me, between fifteen and eighteen mph on a fully loaded Galaxy.

The second shout was the classic incoherence, melding fat, fucker, pedal, tax...but the first made me smile. A car slowed down as I waited to turn right, and the driver, who had clearly followed me from the store, grinned and shouted "Fish and chips agrees with you then!"

Amid their applause: "yes! You're the best" "Go on Wiggins!" couldn't do anything but smile.

Abuse off a berk inna merc today for doing 26mph in the right hand lane of two lanes in a 30 zone immediately prior to.............turning right

Fast today average 19.1 for the 12 miles, all came easy, perfect conditions, no wind ideal temps.

Just riding back in a group from the wednesday night CTC ride,

Go on Wiggins!, Wiggins!, Wiggins!, Wiggins!,

Excellent!

Even Pollards Hill Cyclists, not especially known for their speed, got called Bradley! We did wonder if they knew any other racing cyclists.

We got "Go Wiggo!" in a clearly friendly way from a group of teenagers last night coming back through Bristol.

I got the full treatment cutting through the park the other day, though their appellation of choice happened to be Cavendish.

From a couple of weeks back on the FNRTTC, in the wee small hours:

"Oh, go to bed!"

And on last week's Tandem Club rally, that old favourite:

"Can you ride tandem?" in obligatory faux norven accent. To which one of our number responded

"Yes, rather well actually"

I had a "You c^*£$ want fucking everything, don't you?" today.

Peter · « **Reply #440 on:** 29 August, 2012, 12:19:50 am »

I got a bunch of young kids hanging out of a stationary BMW shouting, "Wiggy, Wiggy, Wiggy!" It nearly made up for a succession of appallingly close passes.

In fairness, I was riding up to Rest and Be Thankful last Friday when a Subaru Impreza waiting at the temporary traffic lights to come down wound their window down, leaned out and shouted "Allez, allez, allez!" at me. I was braced for abuse and was so surprised I hardly had time to say cheers!

Peter · « **Reply #442 on:** 29 August, 2012, 12:31:13 am »

Is that one of Wade's roads?

hellymedic · « **Reply #443 on:** 29 August, 2012, 12:46:51 am »

Rest and Be Thankful is in scenic Scotland.

Peter · « **Reply #444 on:** 29 August, 2012, 01:07:30 am »

Yes, but I notice it's on "Old Military Road" and was wondering if that's one of the roads Wade built to smash the Scots after Culloden but I may be mixing stuff up.

padbeat · « **Reply #445 on:** 29 August, 2012, 01:15:50 am »

R&BT is the pass between Arrochar at the top of Loch Long and Loch Fyne. The original track is ancient but the military road (which runs parallel to the current road) was one of Wade's, apparently to allow the Duke of Argyll's troops out to wherever they were needed rather than to allow access for troops to the Mull of Kintyre.

Thanks, Padbeat.

Some random ped on the way to work this morning.
"It's raining"

I was way past before I thought of the brilliant response
"Yeah, I know"

Sorry if this has already been done elsewhere but:

Guy threatens to kill cyclist; cyclist gives camera footage to police who have secured a conviction.

In Ilfracombe a couple of weeks ago, on a tourer, but wearing a forum KOTM jersey.

Old guy walking the other way: "King of the Mountains!"
Me: "I wish!"

Two days later, dragging up the long hill from Woolacombe beach (no KOTM jersey this time, it doesn't help on the hills).

Boy, with dad: "Bradley Wiggins!"
Me, sotto voce: "I climb like more like Cavendish, me..."
